Does anybody know of a nice, simple, and inexpensive way to hook 5 PCs
to a laser printer? I thought of TOPS using just NetPrint, but there
must be a cheaper solution. The computers are in different offices, so
something that uses the parallel ports probably wouldn't do it.
Any advice would be appreciated greatly!

Get a buffer box with 5 input serial ports, or two of the 4 input buffer boxes feeding into a third buffer box. Clayton E. Cramer
